Hawaii's New Gov Set To Torpedo Birthers - L.A. Times Piles On
Here's The Right Side Of It ^ | December 26, 2010 | John L. Work

With thanks to Gates of Vienna

Hawaii’s leftist Governor-elect, Neil Abercrombie, says he is going to “torpedo” the birther conspiracy theories that question the Constitutional eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to hold office. And by golly, he’s found a couple of willing partners in the major media to help him with the cover-up – The Los Angeles Times’ Michael Mimoli and Ken Dilanian. Their distortion-filled coverage of Abercrombie’s noble quest to keep the Big Question unanswered was published on Christmas Eve:

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-obama-birthers-20101224,0,3744847.story

“Reporting from Honolulu —

Neil Abercrombie knew Barack Obama’s parents when the future president was born here in 1961, and he has been aggravated by the so-called birther movement, which alleges Obama was not born in the United States and thus should be expelled from office…”

The so-called birther movement does not say that Obama was or was not born within the United States. It points to the secrecy and non-disclosure of all of his documented history that could answer the nagging question as to his origins. The birthers want him to release that history for public inspection, as John McCain did during 2008. Obama has released nothing – except for an on-line computer-generated image that would not even get your kid into Little League Baseball.

“…What bothers me is that some people who should know better are trying to use this for political reasons,” said Abercrombie, 72. “Maybe I’m the only one in the country that could look you right in the eye right now and tell you, ‘I was here when that baby was born.’ “…”

Really, Mr. Abercrombie? The Constitution is not political? Obama’s paternal step-grandmother says he was born in Mombassa, Kenya, and that she was right there in the delivery room. Does that prove where he was born? No. And neither does what Neil Abercrombie says about it. There’s only one way for this to be resolved – let’s see the original long-form birth certificate. And while we’re at it, how about all of those school records, college transcripts, Columbia senior thesis, financial aid applications, college transfer records, adoption records, name-change records, passport records, selective service records, Harvard Law Review records – all of it. This is supposed to be Mr. Transparency, after all.

“…One of Abercrombie’s aides said the governor is voicing the frustration of many Hawaiians who continue to be troubled by the rumors, which they see as emblematic of the view that Hawaiians are not Americans in the same way as those who live in the continental United States…”

Now, that is clever. We on the mainland must consider Hawaiians to be less than Americans because we’d like to see the President’s bona-fides. That’s a good one. But, here comes the biggest lie in the story:

“…Ample evidence has been produced to discredit the “birther” movement, so in the view of the White House, the Democratic governor’s comments are reviving an issue that most people see as resolved…”

Nothing has been resolved. The only evidence that has been brought forth from the White House is derision, name-calling, ridicule – and belittling them who would like a straightforward answer to the quite rational question: If Mr. Obama is Constitutionally eligible to serve as President, please release his entire documented history, so that we can see all of it. What is he hiding from us?

I think there is definitely something being hidden. Obama may well have been born in Hawaii, however, it’s possible the birth certificate shows someone other than Barack Obama, Sr. as his father. Or the father is not noted at all, as happened on the birth certificate for John Edwards’ girlfriend’s baby. Or the birth certificate shows that his mother and Barack Sr. were not married. There is something on that birth certificate that Obama doesn’t want the world to know.

It's been pretty much established that the original was most likely amended. The question is why? Big whoop if they weren't married and he's already admitted the "marriage" was questionable. Another big whoop if daddy wasn't listed as if there's any stigma now days against that. Besides, not having a father listed would help in his quest at NBC-ship so that would be a plus. Now, that leaves him either with not being born in HI or the daddy listed isn't Obama. Either of those would cause his house of cards to come crashing down and prove to even his supporters he's a liar.

Yeah, not hard to figure that one out along with Murkowski in Alaska, Palin’s state.

Or maybe it does not exist?

Former Hawaii elections clerk, Tim Adams, says it doesn't exist.

I read a bit about some people say his daddy may not be listed as black. That might mess up his relationship with the blacks.

“…Ample evidence has been produced to discredit the “birther” movement,

Mysteriously, this "ample evidence" he refers to has been kept completely hidden from everyone. But he's sure it exists.

I'll bet he has "ample evidence" that 9/11 was an inside job, too.

These after-birthers will believe anything.

It doesn’t matter at this point to force the BC issue. Several States will start passing laws forcing the BC at center stage. To run in their primaries and General Election, a valid BC must be submitted to the state AG when filing papers to be placed on the ballot. No BC, no ballot slot.

Maybe Zero is a "different" kind of illegal alien. ;)

Maybe those 12 stitches to the lip wasn't due to an errant basketball elbow, rather the "people suit" ripping. ;)

So he's going to release the long form birth certificate showing the address of Obama's birth? Awesome!

To torpedo the birthers, all that is necessary is to produce proof, which nobody, but nobody has done yet. This man is trying to seduce the people who want to uphold the Constitution with garbage, just like Obama has done.

Show the proof and we’ll be silenced!

Is he going to “torpedo” birthers before or after he forges the necessary documentation? /s =.=

American who watch TV and watch Hollywood’s s**t do not want to know thw truth. It is a lot easier to be lied to 24x7x365. Prince Al Waleed’s Fox News is just there to fool you. It is no better.

Americans traded liberty and freedom for a TV clicker. They all support him including the NFL, MBA, MLB, NCAA. Keep watching TV and supporting the regime serfs.

This man is trying to seduce the people who want to uphold the Constitution with garbage, just like Obama has done. If there was a valid birth certificate, it would have been shown by now. Bear in mind in all of this that, the Democrats have been hiding him throughout. There has been no push among them to find the truth. That’s because they already know it.

Given a choice between believing his grandmother or this guy, I would go with his grandmother. She has no political capitol invested in this. He does! Mr. Abercrombie, Show the proof and we’ll be silenced; we’ll go away. It’s that simple to resolve.

” Now, that leaves him either with not being born in HI or the daddy listed isn’t Obama.”

Or, “religion” is listed as, say, “Muslim.”

Well good “conservatives” like Coulter, Medved, Ingraham, O’Reilly, Beck, Boortz, Hugh Hewitt and a few other paid monkeys on cue bashed and made fun of birthers on almost the same exact day. I guess the media moguls backed by Saudi money demanded they sell out to stay on TV and the radio.

Rush, Hannity, Savage, Malmzberg, Cunningham and a few others did not sell out.
